The Virtuous Martial Imperium of Brunov is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Brunovic Brunoslav Brunovkolov XIX with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, sprawling nuclear power plants, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.202 billion Brunovans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Healthcare, Industry, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brunovograd. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 93.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Brunovian economy, worth a remarkable 5,948 trillion Stars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 294,430 Stars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 948,509 per year while the poor average 69,172, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.

Children playing with walkie-talkies are told to 'get a job', people's charity begins and ends at home, weapons are only sold to foreign governments that are legitimate enough to not bounce the cheque, and just as students finish their homework it's time for school. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Brunov's national animal is the Ram, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Martial Brunovinianism.

Brunov is ranked 19,956th in the world and 9th in Absolution for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 280.45 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
